I’m a born-and-raised Texan (now Coloradoan), living in Europe while I race bikes for Team DSM. I have a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Texas A&M collecting dust. I am husband to the world’s most amazing woman, a classical pianist, metalhead, bookworm, early-riser, coffee snob, cyclingnews.com contributor, and budding Twitter personality. I owe all of my success to my faith, my family, and my friends, and I hope to make you all proud.
